  1. Can anyone tell me what kind of fungus this is? And yes it is a fungus and not a faded fiberglass pole or... Something else. It was soft and a bit slimy to the touch.

    ETA: Emerging consensus that this is some type of stinkhorn, which are part of the family Phallaceae. Yes, an entire family of fungi with such phallic appearances that they named them all after it. Based on color and location, best guess is Mutinus ravenelii, which is the only stinkhorn variety with that color typically found in North America. But there are hundreds of members of the family, so who knows. Thanks everyone for helping!

  4. I think that this is a great idea for folks who are mushroom-forward. I really want to like this sort of thing, but I'm really just not a fun guy.

  8. I took a long walk in the park while I worked on my scene for tomorrow's class, and found some magic and whimsy along the way.

  16. `Ecological niche modelling using bioclimatic variables for global records of these species indicates historical habitat suitability for the common ancestor of P. cubensis and P. ochraceocentrata across Africa, Asia and the Americas over the last 3 million years. This discovery sheds light on the wild origins of domesticated P. cubensis and provides new genetic resources for research on psychedelic mushrooms.`

  23. I have no idea what this mushroom is. But I thought it was cool and snapped a pic.

    Anyways, heard it was #FungiFriday and thought I'd join in!

    Was there fungus active in those saddlebags that went to Tibet?
    Maybe this is a relative?
